After 5 years the civil war in Syria is ended

[Canuck2]

The West might hardly believe it, but it now seems the Syrian war is ending – and Assad is the victor
While we’re all waiting for Trump to start World War Three, we’ve not spotted that the military map of the Middle East has substantially, bloodily changed. It will be years before Syria and Iraq (and Yemen) are rebuilt – and the Israelis may have to go to Putin to clear up the mess they’re now in

A message came through from Syria on my mobile phone last week. “General Khadour kept his promise,” it read. I knew what it meant.

Five years ago, I met Mohamed Khadour, who was commanding a few Syrian soldiers in a small suburb of Aleppo, under fire from Islamist fighters in the east of the city. At the time, he showed me his map. He’d recapture these streets in 11 days, he said.

And then in July this year, I met Khadour again, far out in the east of the Syrian desert. He was, he said, going to enter the besieged city of Deir ez-Zor before the end of August. I reminded him, a trifle cruelly, that the last time he told me he’d recapture part of Aleppo in 11 days, it took the Syrian army more than four years to retake. That was long ago, he said. In those days, the army had not learned to fight in a guerrilla war. The army were trained to retake Golan and defend Damascus. But they had learned now.


Indeed they had. Out in the desert, Khadour said he was going to bomb the town of Sukhna – the Russians would do much of the bombing – and his Syrian troops would break through from there to Deir ez-Zor, which had been surrounded by Isis for three years with its encircled 80,000 civilians and 10,000 soldiers. Khadour said he’d reach Deir ez-Zor by 23 August. He turned out to be almost dead on target. Now he is heading towards the rest of Deir ez-Zor and then towards the Syrian-Iraqi border.

So it seems – after the capture of the city is complete and when Khadour is on the frontier, and now that Aleppo is totally in the hands of the regime and only Idlib province remains a dustbin of largely Islamist rebels (including al-Qaeda), many of whom were allowed to travel there in return for surrendering bits of Syrian cities – that what has always been unthinkable in the West is now happening: Bashar al-Assad’s forces look to be winning the war.

And not just “look like”. Hassan “Tiger” Saleh, Syria’s favourite army officer – referred to twice by the Russian defence minister – broke his way into the compound of the 137th Syrian army brigade at Deir ez-Zor and relieved the soldiers there, while Khadour, his commanding officer (they are personal friends), is set to liberate the airbase in the city.

How many remember the day when the Americans bombed the Syrian soldiers close to that airbase and killed more than 60 of them, allowing Isis to cut it off from the rest of the city? The Syrians have never believed the American claim that they made a “mistake”. It was only the Russians who told the US air force they were bombing Syrian forces.

My point is that Iraq had Freed their land from ISIS, Syria had ended their civil war and had won on ISIS. So, why Somalis can not end their war?? Why 5000 thugs like al kebab are still in Somalia after 10 years of Amisom.

China will build new industrial area in Aleppo(factories/jobs). Somalis wake up, you deverse to live like them in your country.

the difference between us and the Syrians is that the Syrians had a functioning government not long ago, their children were not born into anarchy, whereas Somalia has been in anarchy for 2 decades, making it easy for Alshabab and foreign fugitive to hide inside.

[Publicopinion]

3 decades is long time for silly wars and anarchy.beesha mooryania is responsibilit for the protracted war and destruction.and still want to fight/kill/loot/maim and rape.

[DANGIRL]

I heard 12 buses full of isis fighters and their family members that have no where to go are roaming around Syria and Iraq border. Have they been killed? If so, good.

[TheNewElectedWarLord]

kkkkkk keep crying dooro boy, nobody is overthrowing anyone. farmaajo and kheyrlaawe afdheere are the ones selling somali nationals, I guess HG is the only one with Somali blood still left in them, unlike the somali isku sheeg baranbaro who would sell their own to the enemies of Somalis.

And soon insha allah Farmaajo and kheyre will be held accountable for their treachery and for qiyaamo qaran. may the Parliament show Kheyre and farmaajo there are law and order in Somalia.

piss on somali nationalist.you are raping somali pregnant mothers just 2 days ago (a practice you have been doing for 27 years) and you pretend you care about some piece of dog sh1t onlf terrorist who used to supply arms to alshabab? why not start with mooryanland that first handed him over ?
burning grannies,raping pregnant mothers is nationalism for beesha mooryania.you need to wake up and smell the truth,27 years of lost generations is your legacy and no somali will ever ever trust you.
terrorists will be handed over whether your mooryan people (who have been raping somalia for 3 decades) like it or not.

They have no where to hide or go, soon they will be hunt like rats. However, we in Somalia should open our eyes very well, we don't want in SL or PL through Yemen. Or in south in SWS state and jilib. Just beware of foreigners (white Muslim or Arab in north ISIS) and in south foreigners from Bantu countries especially Tanzania/Kenyan/Ugandans because alshabab.

HG must learn to sort his disputes with his neighbors like the Dir in shebelle and mudug, so we all can live in peace and move forward.

This is why Kheyr is needed, he is the Omar bin khattab of Hawiye, he is bold in judgement when it comes to the anarchist elements within HG.

[TheNewElectedWarLord]

truth be told, all those neighbors are the aggressors. they're hiding behind HG's bad image. HG has good relations with Raxanweyn, Barawanis, and other inhabitants of lower Shabelle But Biya maal who is mad because Hg has MPS in southwest state and thinks they should've gotten the MPS HG got in that state so they want to push out HG which will never work, you push a giant, you get crashed.

as for Majeerteen, they were the ones who the both times in Galkayo tried to build road and some xanaada xoolaha into Galmudug part of the city. HG has good relations with, Dir, Madhiban, Marexan and tumaal who are both in the same union with HG (Galmudug).

The civil war in Syria isn't over yet; it's in a repositioning state.
